Uganda Birding Destinations

Our birding destinations in Uganda offer a stunning variety of habitats, from the lush, pristine forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to rare Albertine Rift endemics, to the expansive open-country savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, where raptors and colorful species soar under vast skies. Water-logged marshes and wetlands, such as Mabamba Swamp near Lake Victoria, provide prime spots for spotting the elusive Shoebill, while the high-altitude Afro-montane forests of Mgahinga National Park host a wealth of unique birdlife.
